Ana Fire evening update for July 10

July 10,
2017 - Ana Fire 6 p.m. Update

SUMMER LAKE, Ore. – The Ana Fire is 20 percent
contained at 6,200 acres today with firefighters focusing on reinforcing all containment
lines using a combination of ground and aerial suppression work.

After moving north and east most of the day Sunday, a change
in wind direction today shifted the active fire perimeter to the southern
boundary, visible from Hwy. 31 in Summer Lake.

A community meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 11,
at The Lodge at Summer Lake, 53460 Hwy. 31, to update residents and business
owners on the status of the fire, with representatives from fire management,
land management agencies and law enforcement.

Hwy. 31 is open to local traffic guided by pilot cars as
operations continue 75 miles northeast of Lakeview, Ore. Motorists should
expect delays and using alternate routes is advisable.

A level 2 (Get Set) evacuation order remains in place for
the area two miles north of Forest Road 2901 and two miles south of The Lodge
at Summer Lake along Hwy. 31 and all of Ana Estates. If evacuations are
ordered, law enforcement will go door to door in the affected areas.

Due to the fire’s level of complexity, the Northwest 12 Type
2 Incident Management Team is taking over management from South Central Oregon
Fire Management Partnership’s Type 3 Incident Management Team at 6 p.m.
tonight. Incident command is headquartered at the North Lake School in Silver
Lake, Ore.

Fire movement remains largely on Lakeview District Bureau of
Land Management, Fremont-Winema National Forest and Oregon Department of
Forestry-protected lands.

No measurable precipitation has been recorded in the fire
area for July. Conditions are expected to remain dry, with winds increasing in
the afternoon, making any spark a potential wildfire. Members of the public are
asked to be extremely careful with any type of heat source, from power tools
and firearms to vehicles and more traditional sources of fire, such as matches.
